I think Staunton has erred with his panel of 24.
(1) If (God forbid) Givens became sick or unfit are we back to Wayne Henderson of San Marino fame? Henderson isn't playing any first team football at the moment. As far as I know the current Birmingham goalkeeper, Doyle, is Irish and he has kept many clean sheets lately.
(2) Long and Stokes in - Morrison and Connolly out. Now what have Long and Stokes done since San Marino to justify their inclusion. Neither has hardly played at all and general concensus re Long is he is not ready yet. I know Morrison and Connolly have been tried before with limited success but the fact is both are scoring freely and playing regularly. Any suggestions what the starting eleven will be against Wales?
